There are several families who own our shares that are in the fifth generation of ownership. As we all know, a community bank cannot be successful without the long-term commitment of individuals who understand the great value of a hometown bank. So whether you bought your shares last week or have 80 year old shares, thank you for believing in what we do. The year 2000 was an active year. As you know we purchased Chatham Savings, FSB on January 7, 2000, and spent considerable time and effort to welcome and integrate their customers into our fold. We are pleased with the results as necessary cost savings were achieved. In last year's annual report, we reported total assets for Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation of $423,000,000. With the Chatham merger, its two branches, the opening of the new branch on Main Street New Vernon and sustained growth within the Bank, we now report total assets of $568,000,000 as of the end of 2000, an increase of 34%. We continue to feel that the extension of our market into New Vernon, Chatham Township and Chatham Borough will become increasingly important to us as the years go by. There are tremendous numbers of households and businesses to which we can provide our version of high touch banking service. We now have two new business calling officers and a full time new business PGB Trust and Investment officer located in our Chatham Main Street office. We will build our business there as we gain the confidence of our new customers. We are also pleased to report that our 15th branch in Hillsborough, New Jersey will be opening in February. Hillsborough is a tremendously active community and we look forward to being a part of it. Continuing consolidation in our industry should work in our favor, particularly in Hillsborough. We have reported record earnings for 2000, the fourth year in a row. Net income, excluding Chatham Savings, FSB merger related charges of $423,000, net of tax, increased to $8,131,000 a 13.1% increase over the $7,189,000 reported last year. Earnings after all merger related expenses were $7,708,000, an increase of 7% over the previous year. We are particularly pleased with this result in a merger year. Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation listed its shares on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol of "PGC" on November 1, 2000. There were three main objectives behind this decision. First, the Board wanted to provide a more orderly market for our stock than we had seen in the recent year. Second, we wanted to close the large gap between the bid and 2 asked prices seen during that period. Third, we wanted to raise the visibility of our Company and perhaps attract some new investors. To date, we are very pleased with the decision and the "old fashioned" auction market provided by Amex. This may be the perfect market for the stock of a growing Community Bank. Also on November 1, 2000, the Board paid a 5% stock dividend and increased the quarterly cash dividend to 14(cent) per share. With the stock dividend, this effectively raised the cash dividend rate by 13%. As always, we will continue to look for ways to increase shareholder value. All financial results are discussed in greater detail later in the report but there are two other areas that are of special importance to our shareholders. The first is that there has been a great deal of concern about the slowing of the economy. There is no question that it has at least leveled off. It should be remembered, however, that it has leveled at a very high point of productivity. We believe that a combination of interest rate drops and tax cuts could revive the economy as it searches for a new base on which to build. While many have been affected by the weak technology stock market, most understand that technology is here to stay and that companies with good ideas and a way to grow earnings will be fine in the long term. Our shareholders should note in our report that loan delinquencies are at an all time low as of December 31, 2000. The other very important positive for our shareholders and customers is that PGB Trust and Investments, our Trust business, is thriving. They crossed the $1,000,000,000 threshold in market value of assets for the first time in 2000. This Department has reached a size where it is a significant contributor to income, last year booking gross fees of over $3,600,000. We have always believed that if we do an outstanding job for our customers that we will be rewarded with more business and the resulting income. There is no question that our greatest sales tool is word of mouth and this is particularly true in the Trust and Investment area. All banks are looking to grow fee income. We are fortunate to be in the right business at the right time and place. The largest transfer of wealth from one generation to next will occur over the next ten to fifteen years. We are in position and have the expertise to help our customers reach their financial goals now, and to plan for the transfer of their assets from generation to generation. You have a unique resource within our Community Bank environment. In closing we want to thank our Board for their efforts and our Officers and Employees for taking the extra step to ensure a satisfied customer. /s/ T. LEONARD HILL /s/ FRANK A. KISSEL -------------------------------- --------------------------- T. Leonard Hill Frank A. Kissel CHAIRMAN PRESIDENT & CEO 3 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OVERVIEW: The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide information about the financial condition and results of operations of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes and supplemental financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") formed in 1997, is the parent holding company for the Peapack-Gladstone Bank, formed in 1921, a commercial bank operating fourteen branches in Somerset, Hunterdon, and Morris counties. An additional branch in Hillsborough, Hunterdon County opened during the first quarter of 2001. On January 7, 2000, the Corporation completed its merger with Chatham Savings, FSB. Under terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Chatham common stock was exchanged for 2.293 shares of Corporation common stock. As a result, a total of 321,017 shares of Corporation common stock was exchanged. (All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend issued in November 2000). This merger added branches in Chatham Borough and Chatham Township. Merger-related charges incurred amounted to $500 thousand and were expensed in the first quarter of 2000. On an after tax basis, these charges totaled $423 thousand or $0.14 per diluted share. These charges include only identified direct and incremental costs associated with this acquisition. Items included in these charges include the following: personnel expenses which include severance payments and benefits for terminated employees, principally, senior executives of Chatham; professional fees which include investment banking, accounting and legal fees; and other expenses which include data processing and the write-off of supplies and other assets not considered useful in the operation of the combined entity. On November 1, 2000 the Corporation listed its common stock on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "PGC". This action brings greater visibility to the Corporation's common stock along with greater liquidity that the AMEX's auction market orientation brings through the Corporation's floor specialist firm, AGS Specialist Partners. During 2000, the cash dividend rate was increased to $0.14 per share. This new rate, coupled with the 5% stock dividend paid on November 1, 2000, effectively raised the cash dividend rate by 13% over the previous rate of $0.13 per share. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 2000 COMPARED TO 1999: For the year ended December 31, 2000 the Corporation's net income increased 7% to a record $7.71 million compared to $7.19 million earned in 1999. Diluted earnings per share increased 7% to $2.49 per share from $2.32 per share earned in 1999. Earnings per diluted share before merger-related charges of $0.14, net of tax, were $2.63 as compared to $2.32 in 1999, an increase of 13%. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividends issued in November 2000 and 1999. These results before merger-related charges produced a return on average assets of 1.55% as compared to 1.48% in 1999 and a return on average stockholders' equity of 16.14% as compared to 15.67% in 1999. The increase in net income for 2000 was primarily due to growth in net interest income and Trust fees offset in part by higher other expenses. We increased spending in support of attracting and maintaining professional and clerical staff and technological initiatives to drive revenue growth and increase efficiency. 4 EARNING ASSETS: Total earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, securities, and federal funds sold, increased approximately 15% from $466.2 million at December 31, 1999 to $535.6 million at December 31, 2000. [REPRESENTATION OF GRAPHIC] RETURN OF AVERAGE EQUITY IN PERCENT 1996 11.32 1997 13.11 1998 14.21 1999 15.67 2000 15.30 RETURN OF AVERAGE ASSETS IN PERCENT 1996 00.99 1997 01.16 1998 01.33 1999 01.48 2000 0.147 Loans: The loan portfolio represents the Corporation's largest earning asset balance and is a significant source of interest and fee income. Total loans increased $56.4 million or 20% from 1999 levels. This growth was focused primarily in the real estate sector, as 1-4 family residential loans secured by real estate (first liens) increased $41.6 million. The increase related primarily to increased lending within our geographic market areas to customers seeking residential first mortgages and home equity loans on their primary residence. Total loans at year-end were $344.3 million and $287.9 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively. 5 THE FOLLOWING TABLE PRESENTS AN ANALYSIS OF OUTSTANDING LOANS AS OF DECEMBER 31, (IN THOUSANDS) 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ REAL ESTATE--MORTGAGE 1-4 FAMILY RESIDENTIAL: FIRST LIENS $210,547 $168,979 $153,372 $110,903 $ 88,165 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ JUNIOR LIENS 25,017 21,263 12,840 14,107 14,836 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HOME EQUITY 15,633 14,488 12,278 12,494 8,636 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ REAL ESTATE--COMMERCIAl 62,161 55,747 40,152 31,090 28,335 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ REAL ESTATE--CONSTRUCTION 2,297 1,153 1,946 4,213 4,703 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ COMMERCIAL LOANS 13,019 12,541 11,594 11,635 12,282 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONSUMER LOANS 14,084 12,413 12,959 13,741 11,493 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OTHER LOANS 1,541 1,349 663 896 2,065 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOTAL LOANS $344,299 $287,933 $245,804 $199,079 $170,515 ========================================================================================== THE FOLLOWING TABLE SETS FORTH THE MATURITY DISTRIBUTION OF THE CORPORATION'S LOAN PORTFOLIO AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2000.

These securities are carried at amortized cost. The portfolio consists primarily of U. S. government agencies, municipal obligations, mortgage-backed securities, and other securities. The Corporation's investment securities amounted to $69.6 million at December 31, 2000, compared with $61.7 million at December 31, 1999. 6 THE FOLLOWING TABLE PRESENTS THE CONTRACTUAL MATURITIES AND YIELDS OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES AT AMORTIZED COST, AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2000: AFTER 1 AFTER 5 WITHIN BUT WITHIN BUT WITHIN AFTER (IN THOUSANDS) 1 YEAR 5 YEARS 10 YEARS 10 YEARS TOTAL - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. TREASURY $1,001 $ 2,997 $ -- $ -- $ 3,998 6.04% 6.39% -- -- 6.30% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES -- 20,977 11,773 -- 32,750 -- 6.41% 7.15% -- 6.68% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES -- -- 75 11,259 11,334 -- -- 5.50% 7.51% 7.50% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STATE AND POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS 6,042 7,994 1,038 446 15,520 6.27% 6.59% 6.11% 8.92% 6.50% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTHER DEBT SECURITIES -- 5,973 -- -- 5,973 -- 6.57% -- -- 6.57% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL $7,043 $37,941 $12,886 $11,705 $69,575 6.24% 6.47% 7.05% 7.56% 6.74% ============================================================================================ SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE: Securities available for sale are used as a part of the Corporation's interest rate risk management strategy, and they may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs, and other factors. These securities are carried at estimated fair value, and unrealized changes in fair value are recognized as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of income taxes. Realized gains and losses are recognized in income at the time the securities are sold. At December 31, 2000, the Corporation had securities available for sale with a market value of $85.3 million, compared with $101.3 million at December 31, 1999. A $476 thousand unrealized loss and $2.0 million unrealized loss (net of income tax) was included in stockholders' equity at December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.

The average balance of federal funds sold during 2000 and 1999 was $17.8 million and $25.2 million, respectively. 7 DEPOSITS: Total deposits increased $66.2 million or 15% to $510.3 million at December 31, 2000, compared to $444.1 million at December 31, 1999. Our strategy to expand market share and fund earning asset growth with core deposits was an important factor for strong growth in net interest income. A combination of marketing and sales initiatives contributed to a $16.8 million increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and a $10.1 million increase in interest-bearing checking accounts. During 2000, we introduced a tiered money market account product which offers highly competitive interest rates. This new product was well received by our customers and contributed to the $34.4 million increase in money market accounts. The Corporation does not participate in the brokered deposit market, and certificates of deposit over $100,000 are generally purchased by local municipal governments or individual depositors for periods of one year or less. These factors translate into a stable customer oriented cost-effective funding source.

The dynamics of the changes in interest rates, as well as the mix and volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, combine to affect net interest income. Net interest income (on a tax-equivalent basis) totaled $23.4 million for 2000, an increase of 9% or $1.9 million over the $21.5 million recorded in 1999. The increase was primarily due to a $30.0 million increase in average earning assets and higher rates earned on interest-earning assets, which increased to 7.29% from 6.88% earned in 1999. Offsetting higher interest income in part was higher interest expense which increased $2.2 million or 21%. This increase was primarily due to a $21.7 million increase in interest-bearing deposits and higher rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, which increased to 3.35% from 2.94% in 1999. A major factor in the growth in net interest income was higher average demand deposits which increased $8.1 million or 9% on average during 2000 as compared to 1999. The net interest margin in 2000 was 4.76%, an increase of 12 basis points from 4.64% in 1999. [REPRESENTATION OF GRAPHIC] NET INTEREST INCOME IN MILLIONS 1996 $15.3 1997 $17.5 1998 $19.1 1999 $21.3 2000 $23.2 Interest income on interest-earning assets (on a tax-equivalent basis) increased $4.1 million or 13% to $36.0 million. This increase was primarily due to higher average loans, up $57.8 million or 22% over 1999 levels and higher rates earned on average loans, up 8 basis points to 7.79% from 7.71% in 1999, offset in part by lower average investments and federal funds sold, down $20.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher average balances and higher rates paid on money market accounts and certificates of deposits. Money market account balances increased on average $14.0 million and rates paid increased 117 basis points, which was primarily due to the introduction of a tiered money market account product that offers highly competitive interest rates. Average certificates of deposits increased $6.3 million and rates paid increased 69 basis points over 1999 levels due to overall increased market interest rates. 9 THE FOLLOWING TABLE COMPARES THE AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET, NET INTEREST SPREADS AND NET INTEREST MARGINS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999, AND 1998 (FULLY TAX-EQUIVALENT -

In its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers past loan loss experience, changes in the composition of non-performing loans, the condition of borrowers facing financial pressure, the relationship of the current level of the allowance to the credit portfolio and to non-performing loans and existing economic conditions. The process of determining the adequacy of the allowance is necessarily judgmental and subject to changes in external conditions. The total provision for loan losses for 2000 was $500 thousand as compared to $555 thousand in 1999 and $521 thousand in 1998. Net charge-offs for 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $27 thousand, $21 thousand and $115 thousand, respectively. There was no other real estate owned at December 31, 2000 and 1999. Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans and other real estate owned. Non-performing loans are composed of loans on nonaccrual status or loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest and principal payments but have not been classified as nonaccrual. Non-performing assets were $400 thousand in 2000, $591 thousand in 1999 and $807 thousand in 1998. The allowance for loan losses was $3.4 million at December 31, 2000 as compared to $3.0 million at December 31, 1999. The allowance for loan losses currently provides 859% coverage of all non-performing assets. At December 31, 2000, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 1.00% compared to 1.03% at December 31, 1999 and 0.99% at December 31, 1998. 12 THE FOLLOWING TABLE PRESENTS THE LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE DURING THE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31: (IN THOUSANDS) 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AT BEGINNING OF YEAR $2,962 $2,428 $2,022 $1,721 $1,383 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOANS CHARGED-OFF DURING THE PERIOD: REAL ESTATE 27 0 0 151 287 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONSUMER 119 70 152 97 49 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMERCIAL AND OTHER 28 52 35 35 25 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL LOANS CHARGED-OFF 174 122 187 283 361 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RECOVERIES DURING THE PERIOD: REAL ESTATE 75 22 24 105 19 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONSUMER 53 63 12 25 8 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMERCIAL AND OTHER 19 16 36 9 22 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL RECOVERIES 147 101 72 139 49 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET CHARGE-OFFS 27 21 115 144 312 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSFER TO ALLOWANCE FOR OREO 0 0 0 0 (52) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROVISION CHARGED TO EXPENSE 500 555 521 445 702 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AT END OF YEAR $3,435 $2,962 $2,428 $2,022 $1,721 ============================================================================================= THE FOLLOWING TABLE SHOWS THE ALLOCATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AS OF DECEMBER 31: 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (IN THOUSANDS) $ % $ % $ % $ % $ % - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REAL ESTATE $1,889 55 $1,629 55 $1,336 55 $1,112 55 $ 947 55 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONSUMER 172 5 148 5 121 5 101 5 86 5 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMERCIAL AND OTHER 1,374 40 1,185 40 971 40 809 40 688 40 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL $3,435 100 $2,962 100 $2,428 100 $2,022 100 $1,721 100 ============================================================================================== 13 NON-PERFORMING ASSETS: THE FOLLOWING TABLE PRESENTS FOR THE YEARS INDICATED THE COMPONENTS OF NON-PERFORMING ASSETS: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (IN THOUSANDS) 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LOANS PAST DUE 90 DAYS OR MORE AND STILL ACCRUING INTEREST $ 75 $ 205 $ 1 $ 104 $ 122 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NON-ACCRUAL LOANS 325 386 806 742 1,311 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOTAL NON-PERFORMING LOANS 400 591 807 846 1,433 ========================================================================================== OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED -- -- -- 340 479 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOTAL NON-PERFORMING ASSETS 400 591 807 1,186 1,912 ========================================================================================== LOAN CHARGE-OFFS 174 122 187 283 361 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LOAN RECOVERIES 147 101 72 139 49 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NET LOAN CHARGE-OFFS 27 21 115 144 312 ========================================================================================== ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES $3,435 $2,962 $2,428 $2,022 $1,721 ========================================================================================== In addition, the Bank had restructured loans of $325 thousand and $255 thousand at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

OTHER INCOME: Other income before losses on securities was $5.8 million in 2000, representing a 10% increase from 1999 levels. This increase was primarily due to higher trust fees and gain on sale of a loan servicing portfolio, partially offset by reduced other fee income. Trust fees for 2000 were 20% higher than 1999 and 61% higher than 1998. The sharp rise in Trust fees can be attributed to the increase in book value of assets under management, which increased 8.9 percent in 2000 as compared to 1999 levels. The gain on sale of servicing and the reduction in other fee income was a result of discontinuing Chatham Savings, FSB mortgage banking activities, which were not significant to Chatham's assets and which were incompatible with existing lines of business. For the years ended December 31, 2000, securities losses were $200 thousand as compared to gains of $16 thousand and $178 thousand for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The higher rate earned on the reinvestment of the proceeds of the securities sold at a loss in 2000 is expected to increase interest income in future years. 14 THE FOLLOWING TABLE PRESENTS THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF OTHER INCOME: (IN THOUSANDS) 2000 1999 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SERVICE CHARGES ON DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS $1,310 $1,265 $1,514 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRUST DEPARTMENT FEES 3,604 3,002 2,241 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAFE DEPOSIT RENTAL FEES 168 176 173 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTHER FEE INCOME 299 660 481 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GAIN ON SALE OF LOAN SERVICING 211 -- -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTHER NON-INTEREST INCOME 163 144 214 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTHER INCOME BEFORE GAIN/(LOSS) ON SECURITIES 5,755 5,247 4,623 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECURITIES (LOSSES)/GAINS (200) 16 178 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL OTHER INCOME $5,555 $5,263 $4,801 ============================================================================================ OTHER EXPENSES: Other expense totaled $16.6 million in 2000, an increase of $1.4 million or 9% compared to $15.3 million in 1999. Excluding merger-related charges of $500 thousand, the increase was $852 thousand, or 6%. The increase in other expense was primarily the result of increases in salaries and benefits and advertising, offset in part by lower equipment and data processing costs related to the consolidation of the Chatham Savings, FSB operations. Salaries and benefits expense, the largest component of other expense, increased 14% to $9.0 million from $7.9 million in 1999. This increase was primarily related to higher staff levels and costs associated with attracting and retaining a well-trained professional staff and the related fringe benefits. The Corporation strives to operate in an efficient manner and control costs as a means of producing increased earnings for its shareholders.

The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2000 was 33.84% compared to 33.26% for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increased income tax expense in 2000 reflects higher levels of taxable income as the effective tax rate remained consistent. 15 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 1999 COMPARED TO 1998: For the year ended December 31, 1999, net income increased 19% to $7.2 million compared to $6.0 million in 1998. Diluted earnings per share increased 20% to $2.32 in 1999 from $1.94 in 1998. The increase in net income for 1999 was due primarily to growth in net interest income and strong growth in Trust fees offset in part by increased other expenses. Return on average stockholders' equity increased to 15.67% in 1999 compared to 14.21% in 1998 and the return on average assets increased to 1.48% in 1999 from 1.33% in 1998. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend paid in November 1999. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $2.3 million, or 12% to $21.5 million in 1999 as compared to $19.2 million in 1998. The increase in 1999 was due primarily to growth of average interest-earning assets of $36.7 million, offset in part by growth of average interest-bearing liabilities, which increased $24.7 million on average over 1998 levels. Average demand deposits increased $11.1 million or 14.5% over average demand deposits in 1998. The net interest margin increased to 4.64% for 1999 compared to 4.51% for 1998. Other income in 1999 amounted to $5.3 million as compared to $4.8 million in 1998. Trust fees grew 34% to $3.0 million in 1999 as compared to $2.2 million in 1998, as the book value of assets under management grew 19% to $651.5 million from $549.3 million in 1998. Total other expenses increased 11% to $15.3 million in 1999 as most expense categories reflected year-over-year growth. Higher spending in support of revenue-generating staff positions, expanded technology spending, branch expansion and costs related to business volumes accounted for the majority of the increase in other expenses. CAPITAL RESOURCES: The solid capital base of the Corporation provides the ability for future growth and financial strength. Maintaining a strong capital position supports the Corporation's goal of providing shareholders an attractive and stable long-term return on investment. At $55.2 million, total stockholders' equity grew 16% or $7.6 million as compared with $47.6 million at December 31, 1999. At December 31, 2000, unrealized losses net of taxes were $476 thousand as compared to unrealized losses net of taxes of $2.0 million at December 31, 1999. The decline in unrealized losses, net of taxes, was primarily due to lower interest rates during 2000 as compared to 1999. Federal regulations require banks to meet target Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 4% and 8%, respectively. At 19.1% and 20.4%, the Bank's Tier 1 and total capital ratios are well in excess of regulatory minimums. The Bank's capital leverage ratio was 9.6% at December 31, 2000. LIQUIDITY: Liquidity refers to an institution's ability to meet short-term requirements in the form of loan requests, deposit withdrawals and maturing obligations. Principal sources of liquidity include cash, temporary investments and securities available for sale. Management feels the Corporation's liquidity position is sufficient to meet any future needs. Cash and cash equivalents, including federal funds sold, averaged over $33 million in 2000. In addition, the Corporation has over $85 million in securities designated as available for sale. These securities can be sold in response to liquidity concerns. As of December 31, 2000, investment securities and securities available for sale maturing within one year amounted to $17 million and cash and cash equivalents totaled over $54 million. Another source of liquidity is borrowing capacity. The Corporation has a variety of sources of short-term liquidity available, including federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, short and long term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, loan participation or sales of loans and sales of securities available for sale. The Corporation also generates liquidity from the regular principal payments made on its loan portfolio. 16 INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY: Interest rate sensitivity is a measure of the relationship between interest-earning assets and supporting funds which are susceptible to changes in interest rates during comparable time periods. Interest rate movements on deposits have made managing the Corporation's interest rate sensitivity increasingly more important as a means of managing net interest income. The Corporation's Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for managing the exposure to changes in market interest rates. The "sensitivity" gap quantifies the repricing mismatch between assets and supporting funds over various time intervals. The cumulative gap position as a percentage of total rate-sensitive assets provides one relative measure of the Corporation's interest rate exposure. The Corporation's ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities was approximately .33 on December 31, 2000 based on contractual maturities for the next twelve months subject to certain assumptions explained in the following paragraph. Since this ratio is less than 1.00, the Corporation has a "negative gap" position which may cause its assets to reprice more slowly than its deposit liabilities. In a declining interest rate environment, interest costs may be expected to fall faster than the interest received on earning assets, thus increasing the net interest spread. If interest rates increase, a negative gap means that the interest received on earning assets may be expected to increase more slowly than the interest paid on the Corporation's interest-bearing liabilities, therefore decreasing the net interest spread. For purposes of calculating the gap position, interest-earning demand deposits, money market deposits and savings deposits are included in the 0-3 month category. The Corporation recognizes that certain of these deposits are more stable with an effective maturity greater than their repricing frequency. Assets with daily floating rates are included in the 0-3 month category. Assets and liabilities are included based on their maturities or period to first repricing, subject to the foregoing assumptions. THE TABLE BELOW PRESENTS THE MATURITY AND REPRICING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS AND INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2000.

The Corporation currently does not enter into futures, forwards, swaps or options. However, the Corporation is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of the customers of the Corporation. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of condition. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and may require collateral from the borrower if deemed necessary by the Corporation. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party up to a stipulated amount and with specified terms and conditions. Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are not recorded as an asset or liability by the Corporation until the instrument is exercised. The Corporation's exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Asset/Liability Committee. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the statement of condition to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximize income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to identify and minimize the risks. Tools used by management include the standard GAP report and interest rate shock simulation report. The Corporation has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes. Management believes the Corporation's market risk is reasonable at this time.

Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. The Corporation believes residential real estate values have stabilized; however, if real estate prices in the Corporation's trade area decrease, the values of real estate collateralizing the Corporation's loans and real estate held by the Corporation as other real estate owned could also be adversely affected. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in June 1998. SFAS No. 133 standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. Under the standard, entities are required to carry all derivative instruments in the statement of financial condition at fair value. SFAS No. 137 extended the adoption of SFAS No. 133 to periods beginning after June 15, 2000. In June of 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and 137," which amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for derivative instruments. Upon adoption, the provisions of SFAS No. 133 must be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 133, SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138 did not have a material impact on the financial statements. The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (SFAS No. 140). Statement No. 140 replaces SFAS No. 125. SFAS 140 resolves certain implementation issues, but it carries forward most of SFAS 125's provisions without change. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers occurring after March 31, 2001 and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The Corporation anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 140 will not have a material impact on the financial statements. 19 TRUST AND INVESTMENT DEPARTMENT: PGB Trust and Investments, a division of the bank, continues to be an extremely important part of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation. Since its inception in 1972, it has served in the roles of executor and trustee while providing investment management, custodial, tax, retirement, and financial services to its growing client base. [REPRESENTATION OF CHART] TRUST ASSETS BOOK VALUE IN MILLIONS 1996 $379 1997 $454 1998 $549 1999 $651 2000 $710 The book value of assets under management in PGB Trust and Investments increased from $651.5 million at December 31, 1999 to $709.7 million at December 31, 2000, an increase of 9%. The corresponding market value at December 31, 2000 is in excess of $1 billion. Fee income generated by PGB Trust and Investments was $3.6 million, $3.0 million and $2.2 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. The 1999 consolidated statement of condition and the statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, have been restated to reflect the pooling-of-interests transaction with Chatham Savings Bank, FSB as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. We did not audit the 1998 statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows of Chatham Savings Bank, FSB, which statements reflect total net interest income constituting 14.5 percent, in 1998, of the related consolidated totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Chatham Savings Bank, FSB for the year ended December 31, 1998, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes, examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND ORGANIZATION: The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation are prepared on the accrual basis and include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peapack-Gladstone Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Peapack-Gladstone Investment Company and Peapack-Gladstone Mortgage Group, Inc. While the following footnotes include the collective results of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and Peapack-Gladstone Bank, these footnotes primarily reflect the Bank's and its subsidiaries activities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from the accompanying consolidated financial statements. BUSINESS: Peapack-Gladstone Bank, the subsidiary of the Corporation, provides a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers through its branch operations in northwestern New Jersey. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions, is regulated by certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of condition and revenues and expenses for that period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements of prior years have been restated to include Chatham Savings Bank, FSB, which was acquired on January 7, 2000, in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. INVESTMENT SECURITIES: Investment securities are composed of debt securities that the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Such securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount over the term of the investments. SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE: Debt securities that cannot be categorized as investment securities are classified as securities available for sale. Such securities include debt securities to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity, as well as marketable equity securities. Securities held for indefinite periods of time include securities that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, resultant prepayment risk and other factors related to interest rate and resultant prepayment risk changes. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses (net of related tax effects) on such securities are excluded from earnings, but are included in stockholders' equity as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Upon realization, such gains or losses are included in earnings using the specific identification method. 30 LOANS: Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to the loan's yield. The accrual of income on loans is discontinued if certain factors indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectibility of such interest, generally when the loan becomes over 90 days delinquent. A non-accrual loan is not returned to an accrual status until factors indicating doubtful collection no longer exist. The majority of the loans are secured by real estate located within the Corporation's market area in Northwestern New Jersey. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potential loan losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance is based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio considering economic conditions, the volume and nature of the loan portfolio, historical loan loss experience, and individual credit situations. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and reduced by net charge-offs. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. Management, considering current information and events regarding the borrowers' ability to repay their obligations, considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through provisions charged to operations. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation charges are computed using the straight-line method. Premises and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Gains or losses realized on routine dispositions are recorded as other income or other expense. OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED: Other real estate owned is carried at fair value minus estimated costs to sell, based on an independent appraisal. When a property is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over the estimated fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent write-downs that may be required to the carrying value of the properties or losses on the sale of properties are charged to the valuation allowance on other real estate owned or to other expense. INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Intangible assets resulting from acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting consist of goodwill. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years. 31 INCOME TAXES: The Corporation files a consolidated Federal income tax return. Separate State income tax returns are filed for each subsidiary based on current laws and regulations. The Corporation recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in its financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on the enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income for the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Such tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of a change in tax rates in the period of enactment. STOCK OPTION PLAN: The Corporation applies the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provides pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. EARNINGS PER SHARE: The numerator of both the Basic and Diluted EPS is equivalent to net income. The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the denominator for Diluted EPS is increased over the denominator used for Basic EPS by the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents utilizing the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are common stock options outstanding. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the 5 percent stock dividends issued in 2000, 1999 and 1998. The following table shows the calculation of both Basic and Diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998: (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE DATA) 2000 1999 1998 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET INCOME $7,708 $7,189 $6,034 ========================================================================================= BASIC WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES OUTSTANDING 3,018,371 3,012,283 3,012,089 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLUS: COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS 71,429 86,449 91,004 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DILUTED WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES OUTSTANDING 3,089,800 3,098,732 3,103,093 ========================================================================================= EARNINGS PER SHARE: - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BASIC $ 2.55 $ 2.39 $ 2.00 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DILUTED 2.49 2.32 1.94 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TREASURY STOCK: Treasury stock is recorded using the cost method and accordingly is presented as an unallocated reduction of stockholders' equity. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: Comprehensive income consists of net income and net unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale and is presented in the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity. RECLASSIFICATION: Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1998 and 1999 financial statements in order to conform to the 2000 presentation. ACQUISITIONS: On January 7, 2000, the Corporation acquired Chatham Savings Bank, FSB ("Chatham"). At the date of acquisition, Chatham had total assets of $74.5 million and deposits of $63.9 million, with two branch offices. The transaction was accounted for using the pooling of interests method of accounting and resulted in the issuance of approximately 321,017 shares of the Corporation's common stock. Each share of common stock of Chatham was exchanged for 2.2930 of the Corporation's common stock. (All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend issued in November 2000). The consolidated financial statements of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation have been 32 restated to include Chatham for all periods presented. Separate results of the combining companies for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows: (IN THOUSANDS) 1999 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET INTEREST INCOME AFTER PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES PEAPACK-GLADSTONE $17,977 $15,899 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHATHAM 2,814 2,686 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $20,791 $18,585 ================================================================================ NET INCOME - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PEAPACK-GLADSTONE $ 6,621 $ 5,319 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHATHAM 568 715 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 7,189 $ 6,034 ================================================================================ As of December 31, 1997, stockholders' equity as previously reported was $33.6 million and is $39.4 million as restated. During the first quarter of 2000, the Corporation recorded a merger-related charge of $500,000 related to the acquisition of Chatham. These charges include only identified direct and incremental costs associated with this acquisition. Items included in these charges include the following: personnel expenses which include severance payments and benefits for terminated employees, principally, senior executives of Chatham; professional fees which include investment banking, accounting and legal fees; and other expenses which include data processing and the write-off of supplies and other assets not considered useful in the operation of the combined entity. 2.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Corporation discloses estimated fair values for its significant financial instruments. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Corporation's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of significant financial instruments: CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS - The carrying amount of cash and short-term investments is considered to be fair value. SECURITIES - The fair value of securities is based upon quoted market prices or dealer quotes. LOANS - The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the build-up approach consisting of four components: the risk-free rate, credit quality, operating expense and prepayment option price. DEPOSITS - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits, checking accounts, savings and money market accounts, is equal to the carrying amount. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The following table summarizes carrying amounts and fair values for financial instruments at December 31, 2000 and 1999: (IN THOUSANDS) 2000 1999 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CARRYING FAIR CARRYING FAIR AMOUNT VALUE AMOUNT VALUE - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINANCIAL ASSETS: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS $ 54,257 $ 54,257 $ 33,017 $ 33,017 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENT SECURITIES 69,575 70,230 61,672 60,839 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE 85,331 85,331 101,324 101,324 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOANS, NET OF ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES 340,864 339,461 284,971 277,324 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINANCIAL LIABILITIES: DEPOSITS 510,260 510,862 444,088 444,088 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 37 9.

At December 31, 1999, the number of options exercisable was 66,417 and the weighted-average price of those options was $18.61 per share. The Corporation has non-qualified stock option plans for non-employee directors. The plan allows the granting of up to 113,448 shares of the Corporation's common stock.

At December 31, 1999, the number of options exercisable was 48,059 and the weighted-average price of those options was $18.50.

The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $10.48, $11.30 and $10.46 on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 2000 - expected dividend yield of 1.40%, expected volatility of 21%, risk-free interest rate of 5.97%, and an expected life of 5 years; 1999--expected dividend yield of 0.96%, expected volatility of 17%, risk-free interest rate of 4.88%, and an expected life of 5 years; 1998 - expected dividend yield of 0.82%, expected volatility of 9%, risk-free interest rate of 5.65%, and an expected life of 5 years; 2000--expected dividend yield of 1.40%, expected volatility of 21%, risk-free interest rate of 5.97%, and an expected life of 5 years; 41 The Corporation applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Plans and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in the financial statements. Had the Corporation determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Corporation's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below: (IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) 2000 1999 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET INCOME: AS REPORTED $7,708 $7,189 $6,034 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRO FORMA $7,421 $6,991 $5,889 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EARNINGS PER SHARE: AS REPORTED - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BASIC $2.55 $2.39 $2.00 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DILUTED $2.49 $2.32 $1.94 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRO FORMA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BASIC $2.46 $2.32 $1.96 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DILUTED $2.40 $2.26 $1.90 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12. COMMITMENTS The Corporation, in the ordinary course of business, is a party to litigation arising from the conduct of its business. Management does not consider that its actions depart from routine legal proceedings and such actions will not affect its financial position or results of its operations in any material manner. There are various outstanding commitments and contingencies, such as guarantees and credit extensions, including loan commitments of $66.0 million and $43.0 million and letters of credit of $4.0 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For commitments to originate loans, the Corporation's maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Those commitments represent ultimate exposure to credit risk only to the extent that they are subsequently drawn upon by customers. The Corporation uses the same credit policies and underwriting standards in making loan commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. For loan commitments, the Corporation would generally be exposed to interest rate risk from the time a commitment is issued with a defined contractual interest rate. At December 31, 2000, the Corporation was obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for certain premises. Rental expense aggregated $718,000, $805,000 and $478,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, which is included in premises and equipment expense in the consolidated statements of income. The minimum annual lease payments under the terms of the lease agreements, as of December 31, 2000, were as follows: (in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 $ 862 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 859 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 858 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 633 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 629 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THEREAFTER 5,695 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL $9,536 ================================================================================ 42 13. REGULATORY CAPITAL The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2000, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of December 31, 2000, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table.
